PRLog (Press Release) - Feb. 23, 2012 - Baltimore, MD - (RE !nnovators) - Larry Makowski, Founder of Express Auctioneers Takes Back Company and is Selected as Real Estate Innovator by International Firm.

  After returning from a brief stint of 'semi-retirement', Larry Makowski, CEO of Express Auctioneers announces his new, world renowned Real Estate Auction Agent Programs which are designed to provide a 'Plan B' auction sales option to Realtors® and brokers from their own in-house Maestro Luxury and Express Auction division.

     "With welcomed departure of my previous managing partners last year, I wanted to bring back the world renowned real estate innovation that Express Auctioneers has been known for since the 1980's," stated Larry. "In 1994, we successfully pioneered the first Auctioneer/Broker/Realtor® Co-operation Program, an unheard of partnership, where Realtors® referred unsold listings to Express Auctioneers and received full commission when Express sold the property. The programs were so successful that Express developed private label programs for National Real Estate Franchises including Coldwell Banker, Century 21, ERA and RE/MAX Brokerages. O'Connor, Piper and Flynn (now Coldwell Banker) was the first privately owned brokerage to set-up their own 'private label' Prestige Auction Division."

      Larry Continued, "By updating and bringing back our Broker - Realtor® in-office Maestro Luxury and Express Auction Division programs, we were selected as worldwide Swanepoel Real Estate Innovators - while the program was in 'stealth mode'. Being the first and only company from Maryland and the only Real Estate Auction company in the world to be selected as Swanepoel Real Estate Innovators, our programs allow Realtors® to keep the 1/3 of their listings that the National Association of Realtors® (NAR) predicts will soon go to unaffiliated auction companies.

         By training Realtors® (for free) as Professional Real Estate Auction Agents (REAA) and placing our in-office Maestro Luxury and Express Auction programs in a growing number of regional real estate offices, Realtors® can now have a 'Plan B' marketing and sales program. We are proud to say that we are signing on new Real Estate Brokerages as quickly as we can get the affiliate agreements out. Now, Realtors® are able to offer Maestro Luxury and The Express Auction Method as a 'Plan B' option to the traditional sale - allowing the Realtor to continually work with their seller during the auction process. Our Realtor's®, professionally designated (for free) as Real Estate Auction Agents never have to give away their lifelong seller and their trust to an unaffiliated auction company. They walk; hand in hand with their trusted seller through our programs, keeping the listing credit and fee. We proudly provide a 50/50 split of the negotiated commission. We don't know any other company that does this."

     "In the 2011 edition of the annual Swanepoel Trends Report (www.retrends.com), Express Auctioneers is listed with seven other new business models, identified as potential game changing companies.” stated Stefan Swanepoel, CEO of Real Sure, Inc. “America has always admired entrepreneurs willing to bet on his or her abilities to find a path to success and these innovative companies should be commended for taking on the challenge. Express Auctioneers is the only company that provides an [in-office] auction service to existing real estate brokerage companies and it will be interesting to watch their growth."
